unfair, you tell me! :D but well, they handwave handwave get there, and it's such a strange, liquid place that changes from moment to moment, but oh, it's so beautiful, they sort of can understand why ryan stayed. and they ask everyone they meet - strange things with melting faces and shimmery wings and black eyes - for ryan, and some smile at them and some sneer at them and some say, ah, new one! follow the threads.

and they go and go and go, for days or years or weeks or minutes, and in the end they find ryan in the middle of the forest, watching the butterflies with such soft, raptured expression. and then he turns to them and there's such joy on his face, and he moves freely and swiftly for the first time since he lost his vision, and they really can't be angry at him.

now you should tell me why this-place is actually dangerous!
